Need velcro? Here! amzn.to/2hQRjsd or amzn.to/2j7s1rg Hanging lights on truss? Here's some tips from Monica on how to make your truss look SUPER CLEAN!
Lighting is such a huge deal, it awesome it's used for so many types of the industry.. Prom's/ school dances... weddings. corporate event's. church, Movies... live production plays Broadway show's concert's etc... just amazing too learn more and more about it and BUY MORE AND MORE LIGHTING GEAR!! lol...
Great video and great rig. I know you made a video on how to fly speakers from truss, but I can`t find it anymore. Can you please link to it, or upload it again? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Nice clean setup ! How about insted of the power strips build your own power supply to put on the trussing? Use the 4 outlet boxes linked to each other all across the truss every couple feet? The guy i get my speakers from told me the fire marshal's frown upon power strips and them ungodly orange cords, which i assume pretty much any color cord is similar to the orange. I don't doubt him one bit since he used to do sound for alot of concerts... back in the 80s. Great rig you got there !
Hey Arnoldo great video! Where can I pick up these "moxc" cables? I just bought the light bridge system by ADJ and wanna pre-wire it! Thanx for making some great vids!
wel dude nice rig you got ther to bad non of my lights have power in and out thats wher i made somthing clever i have this PC power beam the use against the wall i have 3x 2 power sockits on it and put 2x durra truss hangers for main lights
for wire management, it a lot more expensive but i do everything with wireless dmx (i prefer the show baby transceivers) and for power i had truss made custom for me so there are power cables and outlets running through the truss so there is very little cable that shows, it works ver well if you have the extra money to do it.
i had a friend make it for me, he does a lot of stuff like that, he just ran wires thought the truss and put outlets on it so i just plug the truss in for power along the whole thing.
Arnoldo, What clamps are you using to hold on your wireless DMX? I purchased some of the Global Truss mini 360 clamps for f14, and while it fit the webbing on my f34 fine, the bolt is too small to thread in my wireless dmx or the truss lighting fixture I was planning on using. These both only accept m10 and m12. Didn't know if you used a different clamp, or if your wireless received just accepted bolts that small. Thanks in advance!
Arnoldo Offermann I've got the Chauvet D-Fi. The D-Fi unit and the Chauvet DJ Wedge tri will only fit M10 and M12 bolts. Which is what all of my other global clamps have. They don't come with any brackets to attach, the bolts just screw right in them. But the F14 mounting bolt is much smaller. Does the WIFLY come with a bracket that you just attach to with a wing nut?
she goes step by step and she plugs in the powered fixtures one by one to ensure they work. she explains that in the early portion of the video so thats why they aren't all plugged in at the same time.

Thanks and keep up the good work.
This video is so helpful! Thanks!
Daniel Graves Thanks for watching!
That was in the 80s. I'm not hooking power strip on power strip. I need an average of 5-6 plus every 5 feet.

As discussed, this can be done without power linking, it's just a tad more difficult. Your idea works well, too!
Thanks! I took it off because too many people took it as a HOW TO vs a demo!
Hi. Can u pls tell me where can i get the multi extension? Thanks
Great video; thx! Where did you get these multi-outlet power cords? Are they also available in EU format?
wel dude nice rig you got ther to bad non of my lights have power in and out thats wher i made somthing clever i have this PC power beam the use against the wall i have 3x 2 power sockits on it and put 2x durra truss hangers for main lights
Awesome, Arnoldo, where can I but those moxc cords. Been looking online but can't seem to find them. Greetings from California.
What Brand of Powerstrip do you use?
good vid. Funny with the "giggity" LOL
+DJ-SpecializED Mixes Thanks for watching!!
@Danny C hey eBay has them search for them but they run like bout $40 a 20ft extension
No, we use ACC for safety cables.
are you using white zap straps for safety cables?
How many watts are you running total on your truss? Are you using more than one 12 ga extension cord?
I've found using 4" & 6" ball type bungee cords is even easier than the tie wraps. They are very cheap and also reusable.
for wire management, it a lot more expensive but i do everything with wireless dmx (i prefer the show baby transceivers) and for power i had truss made custom for me so there are power cables and outlets running through the truss so there is very little cable that shows, it works ver well if you have the extra money to do it.
Custom runs doesn't work if you have different setups every weekend.
That's true if all your truss isn't custom, all of mine is
Custom truss? Where from?
i had a friend make it for me, he does a lot of stuff like that, he just ran wires thought the truss and put outlets on it so i just plug the truss in for power along the whole thing.
Total was 7AMPS... multiply it by 120V and there's yer answer. :)
Only one extension cord was needed, as the lights were mostly power-linked!

That's what I use. The bolt fits my WiFLY just fine. Which wireless do you have?

derek ferguson I use the the Mini 360 F14 to mount my WiFly units. :) It comes with a bracket!
What's the first box you mentioned? The wireless thing?
WiFLEX.... now I use WiFLY from ADJ :)
the IEC's are selling like hot cakes at ADJ!!! great video
Ask your dealer about "multi-outlet extension cords."
Entsyscorp com or nlfxpro com
can i just use normal Velcro straps
Sure!

Is it me, or are some of those led moving heads not even plugged yet..?

I don't use cables because I have 10 jelly pars and wireless dmx
Not every light is wireless and battery operated.
The Jelly Pars aren't wireless, so you're still using cables to connect them to a wireless DMX box.
My jelly pars are tho
What Jelly Par do you have with built in wireless DMX?
There dmx receive dongles connected to a wireless transmitter
Thanks, I didn't have to invent the wheel....
